Smoke screen or not? Help me out smoot smack

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

They're going to draft Eric Berry at #4, trade a 3rd in 2011 and Landry to New Orleans for Jammal Brown and a 5th in 2010, send Rocky McIntosh to Seattle for a 4th, trade Carter to St. Louis for Adam Carriker and a 6th, and Haynesworth to Detroit for their 2nd which which they'll use to take Colt McCoy...

And I just made all that up. I would think it's a smokescreen, would hope so as well.

LOL, nice pick up at the #2.

BRRRRRRRILLIANT!!!!!

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

I think they want to trade back the realise they need more picks, i read a rumor on one of these post cleveland wants to trade up their 1st (7) & 2 3rd round picks if we do that now we have more picks, phily wants Berry i read another rumor their 1st (24) & 2 2nd round picks imagine pulling of both of those trade downs we would go from having 4 picks to 8 picks.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

blowing smoke, and is anyone buying it? i think not.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

What Tampa does at 3 is going to be critical. If they take Berry we're kind of screwed, but if they take McCoy and Berry is there for us at 4 there are at least a couple of teams who may be willing to talk with us to jump KC to get Berry

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

This week is going to be crazy, it reminds me of Christmas i don't think i've ever been this excited about a draft & we don't have that many picks.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

It's not an effective strategy. Not that the organization is actually saying this. Anyways only SmootSmack really knows what we are up to.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Where is this Berry stuff coming from? Is that a possibilty? Getting rid of Laron? That would make my day!

I think Berry would be a FS, I heard he's a ball hawk. LL is huge have you seen the pics, he's definitely playing SS. If they both stay/drafted on the Skins.

One acronym describes Pro Football Talk: Pft!


(Sounds almost like a repressed very short laugh through your nose)

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Scary thing is SS , your logic actually looks like a possibility lol. I seriously doubt we take clausen at 4 and I would be dissapointed if we did. Okung or trade down is what Im hoping..

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

I've solved the smokescreen mystery!

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

don't care about this bs smoke screens...the draft is about four days away though

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

They're just saying that so that Cleveland will want to trade up from the 7th

Does this assume 1) Okung is falling to 4 and 2) nobody will be willing to trade up to get him?

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

This year's draft class is loaded with talent and the Redskins having the 4th overall pick , a 4th, 5th and 7th round pick have to make a move to get some of that talent. Trading down would be the smartest thing to do since they have needs in the OL and LB positions as the primary areas of need. You can still get a decent OL late in the 1st/2nd round, he might not start right away or he might after 8 games, you go out and sign someone like Flozell Adams as insurance with experience (who gives a shit that he played for the cowboys, McNabb played for the eagles) and fill the LB holes.

I'm glad I took my vacation this week (tomorrow's my birthday too). I'm getting stressed out.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

If this is true, why trade for McNabb. Campbell could have had his body beat down behind the oline in transition for a year before the new guy is thrown to the wolves.

If this is not a smoke screen, it sure is a head scratcher.

Wow...that was painful to read, or [I]attempt[/I] to read. Wish we had spell check and a grammer check on this site. How about we just proof read what the hell we are typing! :rant:

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Why the hell are we even paying attention to f'ing PFT?

Prepare yourself for crazy stuff like this in the next couple of days.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

I think they are dying to get more picks, and realize they are in a bad spot. No one wants to move up into the #4 spot, and give up picks. They don't have a valuable 2nd round pick anymore to trade, and no one will trade for their 4th round pick. They can't use any of their current picks to parley into additional picks.

And no one will give any decent value for their current players; Haynesworth, Campbell, McIntosh, Carter, and they are stuck in no man's land of a great draft class with no chance to take advantage.

In short, They are Screwed, and They Know it!

[quote=jdc65;689797]And no one will give any decent value for their current players; Haynesworth, Campbell, McIntosh, Carter, and they are stuck in no man's land of a great draft class with no chance to take advantage.[/quote]It was 2 weeks ago that they traded the 37th overall pick for Donovan McNabb. If they just now realized now that this is a historically strong draft class, they are unfit to run a team.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Next thing we know Shanny will be selling the Brooklyn Bridge.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

So is Haynesworth's retention a smokescreen or are the trade bait rumors the smokescreen?

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Much to do about nothing..... if we get berry, landry moves to SS, I'm betting we trade back!

yeah he is definatlely looking SWOLL PATROL like a 240 lb TANK.

ps...I also heard he can eat thunder and crap lightning.

HAPPY BDAY DIEHARD! Basically everything coming out of DC is a smoke screen. Just watch the 18 minute interview with MS on redskins.com. He didn't really answer a single question posed to him and niether did Allen.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Man after everything I've seen on Berry he looks like the real deal. I've never been more impressed with a prospect that I knew we didn't stand a chance of drafting. He's gonna be starting from day 1 and I'd be very suprised if he didn't become a Pro Bowler within the next 2 seasons.

[quote=Skinny Tee;689801]So is Haynesworth's retention a smokescreen or are the trade bait rumors the smokescreen?[/quote]

us taking a qb at 4 is the smokescreen i was calling out. i also think that haynesworth will be retained because we wont get enough value for him from anyone.

Yes and yes

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Noooo i just looked at Eric Berry highlights on utube and im sold lets pick him!!!! We dont need an o-lineman!!!!

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

I don't know where they will have room for all of our potential draft picks.

I read where the team had 75 guys at our "Voluntary Mini-Camp". :joke:

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

This close to the draft every word coming from teams should be considered a smokescreen

I like this: "Washington's Bruce Allen & Mike Shanahan are championship smokescreeners or simply uninformative." From @SI_PeterKIng's MMQB.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

The Skins FO has done a good job of giving no hints as to what in the world they are going to do at 4. I hope we have some major trade options available.

PFT: Smokescreen.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Like PFT says, if Bradford slips we would probably pick him. But how will that possibly happen?

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Dont we also have 5 QBs on our current roster.

Re: Report: skins say they will pick a qb with the 4th pick..
 

Berry can do it all. Almost all of those 14 interceptions were in his first two years.
Monte then changed the Defense and what Berry's role was. The Vols were paper thin at LB position and Berry played the run his last year. He can lay a nasty hit on you and can tackle in the open field. He will make any defense better in mutiple ways.

We need a big ugly, but passing on Berry will be a historical mistake. He will be a HOF.
